Look at GossipingPropertyFileSnitch (http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/webhelp/index.html#cassandra/architecture/architectureSnitchesAbout_c.html)
and just use simple seed provider as described in the Datastax multi dc documentation.
That way for each new node you just need to define its dc / rack and it will use gossip to
discover this information about other nodes.

it seems I will need to start using PropertiesFileSnitch instead of Ec2Snitch to do what I
want. So here it comes my question:

machines and/or seeds to the cluster? Will I need to change the property files on all the
nodes of my cluster, or just on the new node?
